RESOLUTION DENYING THE VACATION OF THE 14TH STREET ALLEY BETWEEN PIEDMONT
AVENUE AND U.S. HIGHWAY 53 (WOOD).

CITY PROPOSAL:

RESOLVED, that the petition for a vacation of the 14th Street Alley
between Piedmont Avenue and U.S. Highway 53 for Ray Wood (FN 06114) is denied
based on the following findings [to be determined by city council]:

PLNG COMM/PLNG CF:tmf 2/29/2008

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution is a counter action to Resolution 08-0186 and denies the vacation of the alley between Piedmont Avenue and U.S.
Highway 53 to allow the for the construction of a garage for a home at 1312
Piedmont Avenue. Council action was delayed to allow the property owner the
opportunity to secure the land on the north side of the alley. This allowed
Mr. Wood to secure all of the alley without having the city prepare another,
separate action.

This petition received a unanimous approval from the Duluth planning
commission at its regular meeting of November 14, 2006.
